You’re missing the point Ragnarok. Sega are turning their backs on their fans. You can’t just jump platforms like that. They might as well be making VC2 for the 360.

So what if it’s just a game. If Super_Sloth is a fan of the franchise and is [DELETED] off about getting treated like [DELETED] he doesn’t have justify that to you. And neither do I. Not everyone thinks the way you do, so get over yourself!

@52 Super_sloth

Get over yourself…like seriously. It’s a VIDEOGAME for god’s sake.
& It’s the developer’s whom determine whether it’s a true sequel and not just a “dumbed” down PSP version.

Super_Sloth, I’d like to introduce you to Resistance Retribution,
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker/Portable Ops, Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7, God Of War Chains of Olympus, Daxter, Jak & Daxter The Lost Frontier, Motorstorm Arctic Edge, Wipeout Pulse/Pure, Ratchet & Clank Size Matters, Killzone Liberation,Little Big Planet, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Silent Hill Origins,3rd Birthday Parasite Eve, GTA Vice City/Liberty City stories,Final Fantasy Agito Xiii and Syphon Filter Logan’s Shadow/Broken Mirror.

All great and worthy SEQUELS or PREQUELS on the Handheld that DID NOT/DO NOT FEEL Like Dumbed down games. Perhaps you need to realize that a sequel on a mobile platform is totally possible. And is in no way a shaft to it’s loyal fans.

But most of all, you need to realize that ITS JUST A VIDEOGAME.

I would like to have kids eventually. And by that I mean, I’m tired of being kicked in the groin by game developers, Sega is just the latest in a long line of developers that treat their fans like crap.

When fans want a ‘sequel’ to a game, we want an actual sequel, with a good story line. Making a sequel on the PSP is exactly like making “Son of the Mask” without Jim Carrey. It doesn’t matter how much they say it’s a sequel, fans know the truth.

I won’t be buying the PSP version, even if they try to bribe me with a PS3 version, which I do want, very much so, but not enough to buy a sub-par game. The characters look laughable, and the story line seems rather weak. Battle system seems dumbed down, and of course the graphics seem horrid compared to the original. This is not the ‘sequel’ I’ve been waiting for, and wanting.

I do have to question Aaron Webber’s touch with the community if he believes fans are honestly “happy” about a PSP version, I know I for one was extremely let down, and felt it was a very unfitting end to a really good series. If/when Sony wises up, and gives the series the attention it deserve I’ll buy it with gusto, but I won’t be suckered into buying sub-par games.

Totally agree with you man, looking at the rate of growing popularity plus the PS3 slim. I do not see why there cannot have another PS3 release. Yeah, I mean, PSP is fine; I can lead my squad on the go, but scale down graphic without sixaxis shock, feel much pieces missing.c’mon Sega, make my PS3 busy.

@ 4 What illegal narcotics have you taken and where can I get them? The EU crew could be replaced with monkeys and no one would notice.

@ 48 Agreed, who ever said “Lets make it for psp” should be fired (or at least be smacked hard on the head with a massive phone book)

Absolutely loved VC. I really hope this is just a temporary detour to the PSP.

VC belongs on the PS3! Who’s with me?!

I’m a super fan of Yakuza as well, even if you bring Yakuza 3 untranslated, my english is nice, and japanese dub is better , liked the way Shenmue 2 and Yakuza 2 were released in europe.

VC is one of the most underrated games ever – I feel a bit sad whenever I see it going at a silly low price, and there’s still loads of copies on the shelf.. maybe the devs could add trophies, as it seems to be most peoples main reason for buying games these days.

I hope VC2 gets better exposure – its form of action would certainly fit a PSP really well!! Also, please release it on UMD – I can’t stand having my games stashed on a tiny, flimsy, easy-to-lose memory stick. It might be OK for PSP Go users, with their built-in memory, but I’ve got 4 memory sticks now!

Valkyria still is the game that made me keep my ps3 . Anyone with a intrest in srpg’s needs to seek out an play the first.

Nice to see a continuation of the game. Would have liked to have seen it on ps3 though.

I am a massive fan of the first game. Bought it near release and it was my 2008 Game Of The Year! The game was perfect, and it’s great to hear that the same team are working on gameplay. Hope the storyline (most important) is just as brilliant also!
I think I’ll have to hold off buying a PSP/ GO until this is released!

Keep up the top notch work guys and girls!

Valkyria Chronicles is one of the BEST Ps3 games!! Maybe the best… absolutely fantastic… I love this game. A sequel is great news, but to tell the truth, I prefer a Ps3 game instead a Psp. Anyway, I own a Psp and I’ll preorder VC2 as soon as posible

What about adding trophies to Valkyria Chronicles? A great reason to replay VC one more time, before placing our hands on the sequel

Looking forward to it but i feel a bit disappointed.

Sega ripped the unique “sketchy” drawing style that made the first Valkyria game so special to me and turned the game into a generic anime

Looks like a day one buy for me, loved Valkyria Chronicles, favourite game on PS3. Hopefully there’ll be some returning characters, particularly Vyse

Also, Yakuza 3 please Sega!

This is great news, i abosolutely loved the first Valkyria for the Ps3…maybe,just maybe, it’s time to get my hands on a PsP…:-p

PS for Aaron: count me in as well for Yakuza3….we WANT THAT GAME IN EU…it’s a shame Sega is not translating it,i want it so bad
